Report on Marketing Approach Analysis of Standard Bank Limited

Introduction

After many years of independence, the “Private Banking Sector” had been launched when in March 1983 the Government of Bangladesh came to a historical decision that their own authority would operate Pubali Bank Limited and Uttara Bank Limited privately. During that the time another 7 (seven) private banks had got the license to operate privately. Afterwards, every Govt. provided license for doing banking business in private sector. Consequently, Standard Bank Limited, a third generation bank, has witnessed a considerable improvement in its overall business performance during the year 2002. It is incorporated as a Public Limited Company on May 11, 1999 under the Companies Act, 1994 and the Bank achieved satisfactory progress from its commercial operations on June 03, 1999 having its registered office at Chamber Building (3rd floor), 122-124, Motijheel C/a., Dhaka-1000. SBL has introduced several new products on credit and deposit schemes. It also goes for Corporate and Retail Banking etc. The Bank also participated in fund Syndication with other Banks.

At present, about 4 Govt. banks, 30 private banks, 10 foreign banks and 5 specialized banks totaling 49 (forty nine) schedule banks are doing banking business in the country. Another 44 application for opening private bank have been submitted to the Govt. for approval.

Limitation of the study:

time could not spend required to make on in-depth study on such an important issue. The scope of the study was limited by the availability of data.
